﻿The gals from The Burtonesque Dolls, Simply Betty Stamps and Simply Betty Challenges blogs figured it was a good time to put together a blog hop of our very own:

SIMPLY BETTY.

This hop is ALLLLLLLLLLLLL about Betty and since October is Betty's favorite month and there are sooooo many exciting things happening, why not do it just before?!! This way we can get things warmed up for the whole October and Halloween theme.

And since Halloween is her favorite time of year you will be seeing mostly, if not all Halloween cards and we have used only Betty Emo's images.

Betty is such a special friend. I really appreciate the friendship we have

fostered via blogger and I cherish Betty's presence in my life.

She approached me a few months back about starting my line of Glow Skullz

and selling them in her then, fledgling shop. She was instrumental in getting

me off of my lazy butt and getting the creative juices flowing.

She also asked me to be a part of her DT for the Burtonesque Dolls which I gladly accepted. Then when she started the Simply Betty Challenge blog I jumped ship and have been fortunate enough to create awesome stuff with her awesome images!

Betty has created this unique niche for herself and has filled a void for those of us on the fringe of card making.

She is a super sweet chica who always brings a smile to my face with her genuine

Without further ado, let's check out some more inspiring and creative cards from all the ladies. Please note because this is an appreciation blog hop there are no prizes. It's just for fun but the ladies wouldn't mind some luving from you anyway!!

So LET'S GET HOPPING!! Your next stop is the insanely talentedNicole!!!

"I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?' she said aloud. `I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think--'"

(for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over)

"yes, that's about the right distance--but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)...

SO! This week we want you to create a new Halloween color combo, diverging from the traditional Black, Orange, Purple and Greens. Make a project, card or layout creating a new color combo using anything but these colors.

Well, I really tried to think outside of my box

and this is what I came up with.

Blue, or in this case teal, is not a color I regularly reach for

when creating anything, let alone a Halloween card.

I love teal, in fact, my MIL used to call teal, "Gloria Green", I used to wear it so often.

But those were the 80's, and now I opt for black. It goes with everything.

`Yes, to be sure,' said the King: `and the best of the joke is, that it's my crown all the while! Let's run and see them.' And they trotted off, Alice repeating to herself, as she ran, the words of the old song: --
`The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown:
The Lion beat the Unicorn all round the town.
Some gave them white bread, some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum-cake and drummed them out of town.'
